MacKenzie XC Ski Trail

Winter Sports Trail

UPDATED 3/10/23:

Groomed mid day after receiving a few inches of snow. Riding on Friday was awesome. Expect Saturday to be equally as good. There are sections of dirt and sections of a thin base but your fat tire will go through it just fine. Support our volunteer grooming efforts today!

XC Ski Trail

UPDATED 3/10/23:

XC Trail - Groomed this evening. Expect sections to be great and others to not be. Sections that are close to where they logged a couple of years ago get a lot of sun exposure and the warm weather and sun this past week has left those areas bare. But there is some fun to be had. No more grooms planned unless we get more snow.

Base: 0-2" inches

PAST 24 Hrs: 3"
CONDITIONS: Poor to Fair

More Details

Maybe the last ride for the season? Got about 3” so far, with a few more expected...won’t last long with upcoming temps, so get out and play while you can!
Stay tuned for grooming updates.

Ice Fishing Report -

UPDATED 3/2/23

Much of the snow from earlier in the week is turning to slush on top. There seems to be more slush over by the coves on Mitchell and by Kenwood park on Cadillac. All that weight on top is pushing down on the ice so water will rush up out of your holes. SUBTRACT about 3/4" from the waterline on the tape measure to get a closer idea of the actual ice thickness. More updates from Pilgrim Village Fishing Shop.
